She is semi-retired and has most of her time free, so that wouldn't be a hypothetical that would occur for us, not like a full-time practitioner who could drop me from a reduced rate to find a full-rate client.
Rather, the highly likely probability regarding fees would be that she would either agree to a rate reduction if necessary for me, or I would have to cut session times or switch therapists.
Of course, no one can predict the future, but that doesn't stop me from having a college fund for my daughter, paying my mortgage, funding my retirement account, etc., so I do see value in mapping out the future to an extent.
